Barrio Pueblo Vacations from $454

So I will preface that the only reason that I have four out of five stars is that the regular room is small. However, it's Puerto Rico so who is going to be in their room anyway? The location is great - across the street from a grocery store if you need snacks for the beach and great restaurants in the area. The staff is awesome (especially Mateo - he makes top-tier espresso martinis). Everyone made us feel welcome.

Everything very nice and clean. There is no permanent staff manning the front desk, but they are a call and a couple of minutes away. The area, Puerta de Tierra, is very safe and within walkable distance to El Viejo San Juan. Only complaint: at arriving, on Thursday, I let the front desk to know that it was my wife birthday the following Saturday, and ask for their help to prepare a small surprise for my wife (that I was going to pay for). The following day I was told that the owners, due to their religion, do not celebrate birthdays. I found that a weird reason. It is their religion, not mine, and I didn’t want them to celebrate anything, I was the one celebrating my wife birthday.

Angel was a phenomenal host. From the moment we arrived we felt like family. It was so much fun to get a tour of the farm and the animals. And the nights were so quiet and peaceful. Exactly what we needed

The place was neat, the room was amazing a lot of space, renovated, clean; we really enjoyed our stay.

Our room had a leak in ceiling of our Villa. Mind you this was an upgraded room. The ceiling was peeling and dropping debre on the ground. During the night I woke up to a wet floor. We were very disappointed. They moved us the next morning to another room and that was was 100% better. We liked the hotel, but the casino was closed and many of the shops and restaurants on site were closed.
